Vaping and hydration

[m00sey]

Ok ive not ran out of noob questions yet...

Alot have said about keeping hydrated while vaping.......ive not had any problem yet but...

Does drinking beer count!?

I know you probably SHOULD be drinking water while vaping...but does having beer/lager count to keep hydrated...its liquid right!

I know alcohol is de-hydrating also...but since ive started vaping ive drank beer most night...yes I know I shouldnt......im over 2 weeks quitting the analogs so one step at a time ok

So back to original question...does drinking beer/lager help or make worse the potential de-hydration from vaping!!

I've noticed if I have more then one of my normal 3 energy drinks I do feel super dehydrated. As caffeine and alcohol both have dehydration effects I'd say as long as you feel ok keep drinking but maybe for every beer add 8 oz water

i hate it when the voices in my head go silent....i never know what those .......**s are planning

There is a pretty simple answer if you think about it.

A hangover is caused by a combination of dehydration and alcohol withdrawal. If you drink enough beer to have hangover then you drank enough to cause dehydration.

Around here we get temperatures between 100-105 frequently. Drinking beer to excess in those temperatures causes dehydration.

I don't partake but alcohol is dehydrating but if in normal amounts it's no big deal. As for coffee we (along with myself) had always believed it to be dehydrating but turns out new evidence in saying it's not as dehydrating as we once thought.

They say you should typically drink 8 cups or 64 ounces of water (not liquid) per day in general. I think that's absurdly low given the amount of caffeine, alcohol, and sodium the average adult consumes. I drank between 1.5 to 2 gallons before I started vaping. With vaping, I've add another 64 ounces. I always have my Klean Kanteen next to me all day. And since we're vaping to eliminate poisons from our body, let me add that I try to stick to municipal tap water - not filthy unregulated plastic particle filled bottled water. I'm really not a water zealot but I think water should be free and clean.

I've not had many dehydration issues from vaping whilst tossing back a few cool ones, the issue I have is craving an analog. After a few beers that first analog is so good, but after that you're just chasing the dragon. I started vaping just for the fact that when I drink a few I used to chain smoke, now I chain vape. Amazing how the hangover lessens without the pack of stinkies I burned thru... Sorry, I got off track, just order an ice water with about every 3rd beer, this helps with dehydration issues as well as limiting the hangover. Vape On!

Yup. When I drink, which isn't often, I always drink water too.

By the way beer does not dehydrate you. The break even point for drinking alcohol and hydrating is 10% by volume. Most beer is between 3.5-6.5%.

The Egyptian's drank beer all day every day to remain hydrated.

For every three beers I drink, I drink a cup of water....seems to work for me but YMMV!
